Zaslaŭje, Historical township in Minsk District, Belarus.

Zaslaŭje is a small town in Minsk District that extends along the banks of the Svislach River and includes multiple residential neighborhoods. The settlement is located northwest of the capital and is marked by the Zaslawskaye reservoir, which offers recreational opportunities.

The settlement was founded in 985 when Vladimir the Great established it as a residence for his wife Rogneda and their son Iziaslav of Polotsk. This early foundation makes the place one of the oldest urban centers in the region.

The town is known for its historical fortifications, including the Zamechek Castle archaeological site and the Val with its Savior Transfiguration Church from the 16th century. These places tell of the medieval past and remain symbols of local heritage today.

The area is easy to explore with the reservoir and surrounding green spaces, while regular transport connections link it to the nearby capital. Access is straightforward and the terrain invites walks and leisure activities.

The preserved medieval ramparts and castle foundations represent archaeological remains that show in their complexity how early eastern Slavic states were structured. These relics from the 10th century are particularly valuable to historians and archaeologists.
